Cocktails | Kyoto Blossom Martini

Revised on February 11, 2012

Really interesting flavor, very tasty. This is a fairly sweet cocktail, so it is probably best paired with spicy food or grilled meats.

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

2 jiggers premium vodka

1 jigger Absolut pear infused vodka

1 jigger Cointreau

1/2 jigger fresh lemon juice

1/2 jigger simple syrup

Maraschino cherries

 

Method

Combine ingredients in an ice filled shaker. Shake until very cold and strain into martini glasses.

Gently drip about 1/2 teaspoon of Maraschino cherry syrup down the inside of each glass so that the syrup collects in the bottom of the glass. Discard two maraschino cherries thanking them profoundly for their juice. Serve at once.
